As an atheist My three things where:
the bible was full of signs and wonders.. I did my best to be my best and ask for anything got nothing..
Then evil in the world..Again trying my best to be my best was gut punched by the world a few times over as a child/pre teen (was made to live a horrible life, drunk dad fight every day at school or at home with bullies, poor, had no support structure ot even a mom I could speak fluently with turned to god and again nothing.
then logic and reason become my friend and despite not being able to read so well took an intrest in science wanted to reconcile what science said against what the bible says.
then broke from God as a teen and then it became about serving self and making excuses to do what I wanted to do. which slowly morphed into wanting to know the truth at any cost. follwed the bread crumbs to God.
That said I think I will start another thread on people who want answers to their three things. Just cut and paste or give me a post number and I can help you resolve or reconcile any or all of them.
